Hi Julie - Thanks for checking in with us. Our trip was great. We had 4 days of really good weather, and the second half of the trip was mostly gray with some rain. Only one day rained enough to be annoying. Not bad for Ireland!
As you remember, we did the Irish Jaunt and then the Drive as you Please program. The Irish Jaunt was excellent. It hit all the high points in the area and we felt very much as if we were catered to - and we were! Our tour leader and drive was excellent (Tom Tynan) and took care of all of the details for us. The coach was nice, as were all of the hotel accomodations. I think that trip is a great value for the money.
We also enjoyed the B&B trip with the car rental, however, not nearly as much as the Escorted Tour. It was much more labor intensive with planning where to go, where to stay, how to get there, what to do and see once we got there, etc, plus driving on the other side of the road. We were really glad that the larger portion of our trip was on the escorted tour because it was so much more relazing and enjoyable.
Thanks so much for all of your help - we really had a wonderful trip.
Anne G.
